Abstract: A controller of an inkjet printing apparatus is configured to receive first data, which an information processing apparatus transmits in response to receipt of a print instruction. The first data includes an instruction to move the cap from a covering position to a spaced position. Upon receipt of the first data, the controller determines a location of the cap.
